Chapter 294: A massive amount of explosives
Han Shuo only needed half an hour of honeyed words and gentle caressing, to make Fanny, who’d come to incriminate him, beam with joy. Smiles blooming on her lips, Fanny left Han Shuo’s mansion in contentment after listening to his sweet talking.
Han Shuo then traveled at the fastest speed possible to the Boozt Merchant Guild to find Phoebe. He immediately requested upon finding her, “I need a ton of explosives, ones with the maximum fatality. The amount should be enough to destroy a small mountain!”
“Gosh! What do you need it for?” As a normal girl, Phoebe was shocked upon hearing that Han Shuo was in urgent need for a huge amount of lethal explosives, the stronger the better. She only needed to use her toes to figure out what he was going to do.
“Don’t ask so much. Hurry and help me get my hands on them. Also, don’t let anyone know about this matter.” Han Shuo had made up his mind regardless of anything. Time waited for no one, so the faster the better.
Once a woman entered a physical relationship with a man, she would change because of him, even if that woman was the cold and arrogant Phoebe. Moreover, she knew that Han Shuo was very clear-headed, so he wouldn’t do anything stupid. Therefore, she didn’t ask anymore questions despite her doubts. When Han Shuo urged again, she nodded and said, “Give me some time, I’ll collect them using all means possible.”
“Good! I’ll come for the explosives the day after tomorrow. You should temporarily avoid going out for the next two days.” Han Shuo instructed before leaving the Boozt Merchant Guild in a hurry.
After quietly returning to the secret chamber in his mansion, Han Shuo used the transportation matrix to arrive at the cemetery of death once more. He then utilized the art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens and flew towards the mountain valley with the mithril mine. There, he summoned the earth elite zombie.
Three yin demons slowly drifted towards the center of the mountain valley, rapidly transmitting images and scenes into Han Shuo’s mind. The alliance, of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band, the House of Menlo, and the Katar orc tribe, was here. More than a thousand of their members were stationed near the valley, surrounding it within layers and layers of encirclement.
That mithril mine was still operating as usual. However, harvesting this mine was no easy matter due to its steep and narrow terrain, especially as the mithril was mixed in with the silver ores and located in the deepest place. The three powers were still unsatisfied with their progress, even after increasing the amount of overtime the past several days.
The three yin demons scoured every corner of the valley. The earth elite zombie lurked underground, shooting to and fro as the child of the earth. Under Han Shuo’s commands, he dug out an undiscoverable hole deep under the mountain valley. This hole would be the container for the explosives he would receive from Phoebe.
Han Shuo knew there’d be a bloody battle in this mountain valley from Laureton and Edwin’s conversation. The majority of fighting force from the four great powers were going to participate in this war, including Laureton’s Cairo mercenary band. Laureton had recently used various incentives to lure over ten minor forces to his side.
The other three great powers had also poured in a great deal of troops into the valley due to the existence of the mithril mine. Once the fighting broke out, this mountain valley would become the biggest battlefield in all of the Valley of Sunshine’s history. All Han Shuo needed to do was put enough explosives under this battlefield to destroy all of the enemy forces, subduing them all in one fell swoop.
This had to be done with caution. Only the earth elite zombie’s miraculous ability to drill soundlessly underground enabled him to accomplish this task. The three yin demons hadn’t registered any powerful earth mages at this time, so he boldly allowed the earth elite zombie to dic according to his arrangements.
Even with his miraculous ability, the earth elite zombie still took quite a long time to lay out the preparations for the explosives in the mountain valley. Han Shuo constantly kept watch on the experts present through his three yin demons. He was afraid that they would sense the movements underground and discover his plan.
Fortunately, everything went fairly smoothly. Han Shuo immediately left the mountain valley once the earth elite zombie had finished his preparations. He returned to and stayed in the cemetery of death, carefully studying the archmage rank spell, Soul Tremor. This spell was extremely obscure and was quite difficult to grasp.
“Soul Tremor” directly attacked the opponent’s soul using one’s own mental strength. One first had to grasp a certain amount of knowledge concerning the soul before they could master this spell. On the other hand, they also needed to master the method of using their mental force to attack. Just this step alone, of shaping the mental force into an attack was already very difficult to execute.
Han Shuo continuously practiced in the cemetery of death, frowning as he pondered the way to utilize his mental strength as an attack.
He could clearly sense this invisible mental force when he concentrated his mind. However, Han Shuo couldn’t materialize it into an attack no matter what method he tried.
